Zn(OTf)<sub>2</sub> (OTf<sup>-</sup> = trifluoromethanesulfonate) catalyzes the silylation of pyridine, 3-picoline, and quinoline to afford the silylated products, where the silyl groups are <i>meta</i> to the nitrogen. The isolated yields of the products range from 41 to 26%. The 2- and 4-picolines yielded the silylmethylpyridines, where the CH<sub>3</sub> groups were silylated instead of the ring. The pyridine silylation can occur via two separate pathways, involving either a 1,4- or a 1,2-hyd ...[more]
